Senator: “Well, I wouldn’t say it like that, it was more a case of extending prescription drug benefits to the underprivileged….”

Constituent: “Senator, what the hell do you mean underprivileged? How can you call a man who sexually abuses a child…”

Senator: “Well, but it’s OK because you see, we have now provided that poor abused child health care until she turns 26. It’s all good…”

Dumb-ass Dems falling for the same traps dumb-ass Republicans did when they lost their grip on Congress. I’ve been a VERY vocal critic of GOP tactics in the past few years, but I must give credit where credit is due – I like what they are trying to do now. Conservatives have a limited arsenal until (hopefully) November, so I hope they can make every shot count.

It’s not a waste of money, it’s the same tactics Dems have used for years.

Liberals have taken pains to be masters of the sound byte. And Republicans have sheepishly allowed them to claim and hold that higher ground. Now, we have true Conservatives such as Gov. Christie in N.J. who is taking that ground from them (and you, “Bob”) and look who is whining about it. The wording eluded to above is part of that tactic and I whole heartedly support it.

Sorry “Bob”, you can’t have it both ways. If you want to use the political “poison sound byte”, then be prepared to shut up and swallow when you don’t like the taste of another.

And oh, by the way, there was no additional cost in adding the above wording. If you want to research where the real cost of the document came from, you need to look at the “left” side of the aisle.
